My partner and I stayed here for one night for a quick stop off/rest as part of a larger trip. The accommodation was pretty much as expected for a budget hotel. Quick, efficient, super affordable, good location. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful during check in.

Small, friendly and good value.

Small friendly hotel with a nice breakfast. Rooms are small but well maintained. No lift and showers have a step to access so might be tricky for people with limited mobility. Also note that it is at the bottom of a hill which leads up to the centre of town. El Serrallo marina is a shot walk away on the flat with a range of restaurants. Really nice staff who made us welcome.

Great location, good value for a budget stay. Rooms are smallish and lack much soundproofing but furnishings were comfortable and the room heater worked really well (chilly spring weather). Front desk personnel were uniformly friendly and helpful.

Good hotel but damp room

Everything fine except the room smelled of damp and mould. Probably caused by the leaking shower. The smell looked like it was coming from the swollen water damaged door frame. Everything else was great.

The hotel is located in the center. You can walk to beach and city center. The parking is nearby (4 mins walk) and hotel has coordination with the parking (10 euro per day).

The man at reception was brilliant. Really friendly. Told us everywhere to go and helped us get a taxi etc. Only downside is that it's quite noisy late at night with other residents.

This property has a strange disconnect. The location is ok but not good. The first staff member was great she was polite and understanding. The breakfast was not even on par with the worst I have experienced it is not a restaurant just a room that has chairs and tables. The night shift desk person made breakfast no cooked food. Just skip this place!!!

Clean, convenient hotel

Second stay. Extremely clean and good continental breakfast for 7 euros each. Noisy in some rooms from outside cafe until 10pm, but was quiet in winter. Room price has increased a fair bit from January but could be seasonal.

Be aware of parking details if you have a car.

The room was not what I was expecting. The parking was a fiasco. We had to park quite a distance away in a parking garage and walk back and forth with our luggage. We purchased a discounted parking ticket at the front desk that night, but when we went to use it the next morning, the machine would not take it. We ended up having to pay again at the parking garage. This information should be disclosed on their website. Had we of known, we would have chosen another place to stay due to the inconvenience.

Location and cleanliness perfect.

Recently had a 2 weeks stay with work. Location is perfect being just a short walk from the train station. Service was good, breakfast was basic but adequate. Cleanliness is off the scale. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a more spotless hotel. Will use again when back in Tarragona.

Nice place, not so welcoming staff

We stayed here for one night on our way back to Barcelona. When we first drove by the neighborhood looked rough. It is however, very close (walking distance) to all of the old ruins, old town, the train station and the beach. When we arrived 30 minutes before check-in, our host made sure to look at her watch to tell us we were too early. Her demeanor was rude. The room was ready though and we were able to check in. Paid parking is nearby and the hotel offers a discount (Bring your ticket to the desk when you check-in)... approx 14 euros per night. I had to pay full price -approx 18 euros because every time I brought my ticket to the desk there wasn't anyone available to validate it. The wifi is really good, but they only give you two logins. We first logged in with our phones, then when we came back from exploring we tried to log in to our computers and it was not allowed. I went downstairs and she had to re-set the internet for our room so we could log in to our computers. I asked if we could pay for another internet password, as my husband was working and needed both his phone and computer and I needed to work on my computer. and she rudely told me NO! ONLY TWO PEOPLE GET TWO INTERNET. This was a different woman. When we left at 7:05 the breakfast area was not open yet.
